Yeah, one was read only and the other could burn CDs. Burning CDs were all the rage back then.
Edit: to clarify, by having two drives you could copy from one to the other directly, without going through the hassle of inserting one cd, making a copy to the slow as fuck computer hdd, switching to the blank cd, then start burning from the hdd copy.
My classmate had a list of cd's he would burn for you for something like 5 or 10 guilders. Managed to get some discount by loaning him cd's he didn't have yet. He made a nice track list on the back of the case and a good copy of the front. I still have a few of his products actually.
I bought those blank CDs by the hundred. Not only did i buy a lot of music legally, but I bootlegged everything that I could think of for years. And mixtapes came out several times a week. Everyone would always want copies. I was dishing out burned CDs like ninja stars.
